No doubt third generation cheesesteak slinger Rick Olivieri has been experiencing quite a bumpy ride since his very public ouster from Reading Terminal Market back in 2008. The grandson of Cheez Whiz patriarch Pat Olivieri, he of Pat’s King of Steaks fame, found a home at Bellevue’s food court, and later at Liberty Place. With both those locations short-lived, the “Prince of Steaks” is now trying to get back in at the market, Dan Gross reports. Though it’s doubtful that he will score a location there. With three other vendors feeding the cheesesteak need at the market, and with 50 to 75 other applicants vying for space, RTM General Manager Paul Steinke is saying that the city’s signature sandwich isn’t really “our highest priority.” [Daily News]
